Someone is knocking at the door
I know who’s coming
My body shivers
With nausea and cold
I wonder if I can survive
Another battle facing
Its acrid hiss
Its rusty teeth
Its eyes are thirty thousand
It wears red tore garments
It grows in corners
It feeds on locked preys
Chorus:
Prowling in silence,
The Greatest Dread wipes out the fields and
Crawling, marauding,
It spreads the fear
Waiting in darkness,
The blow will fall on me anytime now
Blaring in nightmares,
The roaring drums bring up a cursed sign
Someone is breaking through the wall
I hear its fast pace
The clock’s tick-tock
Thrusts my chest
I will drawn once more tonight
Surrounded by its soldiers
Their names are heinous
Bad omens
(Chorus)

Savor the fall
Bask in else’s fault
While you’re there standing quietly
Must be so good and fun
Never to become the suspect
How much do you pay
To sleep at night?
To guard your dreams of
A world pure and white
You feel threatened by
Their kids at night
But yours ain’t those
Shot in the back
And what do you know
Of reason or love?
You only send
Prayers and thoughts
Chorus:
You’re trapped into negation
No way out of your nation
Because In God You Trust
You crave for acclamations
Love and admiration
We all know you work so hard
You run from your reflection
That’s so far from salvation
Just like the rest of us
You’ll get no invitation
Despite your dedication
You also will be left behind
Flaunt the badges of law
Hide behind a wall
The dirt under the rug you all deny
Blind and deaf to your vice
You play and don’t wanna pay the price
You deserve it
Gotta take it
Build your own way
Never used help
Don’t remember
Where you come from
You were born just right
(Chorus)
Lies!
Lust!
Pride!
Wrath!
Envy!
Sloth!
Murder!
Rob!
And you still want more!

When I wake up tomorrow
I’d like to feel the sun shining on me
To breath the fresh air flowing down the mountain
Under the sky so blue that will mend my heart
Oh how I wish their filthy voices
For one day would be shut down
And all I could hear were the woods soughing
An autumn morning
Leaves whooshing through the roads
They play with birds
Show them some new songs
Chorus:
I just need a beacon that breaks the night
While walking such a strenuous journey
A prairie, so balmy and endless where I can lay
And release and loosen my clenched old hands
The rain blinds my eyes
Cleans my sore feet
It covers me with its cloak
Full of mercy
Gently, like kind genies
The quietness, the blankness
The quietness, the blankness, the quietness
Take over my veins
I let myself go smiling
Chorus:
I just need a beacon that breaks the night
While walking such a strenuous journey
A prairie, so balmy and endless where I can lay
I just need a beacon to guide the journey
A balmy prairie to take a break
And release my hands

Another day and all they want
Is to stay in bed
So they don't have to go out
So they don't have to hide
From the glances and the jerks
Getting in the way
Cause they have broken the mold
Cause they belong to no box
Everyone is telling lies
Even their reflection’s smile
That’s not who they are
For how long they will keep explaining
Ties or heels
It doesn’t mean anything
But how far they are
From their own sweet land of freedom
Chorus:
All that they dream somedays
Is going out the streets and not be pointed
And be back home safe tonight
But they don’t want to blend in
Only live within their own skin
As the years are passing by
Their friends move on with their lives
But they are still here, eyes to the ceiling
And mama’s waiting for her first grandchild
Lonely, sometimes it’s lonely
That’s the life of those who fight
Those who are the most alive
Chorus:
All that they dream somedays
Is going out the streets and not be pointed
And be back home safe tonight
But they don’t want to blend in
They don’t wanna tame their spirit
Only live within their own skin

When the lights are down and red
This greedy urge blows up my head
Only in these velvet chairs
I can free myself of my old age
Bring us some more wine
Let’s toast to youth and bliss
And their painful wake up
Look upon those glorious stars
Why would they care for me?
You’re still looking for your gods
They crushed into dust ages ago
As we’ll become ashes soon
And nobody will recall our voice
Chorus:
Summers are short and all we’re left with
Are sour fruits and wasted love songs
Our treasures will slip away
Through the corners of memory
As they turn black
You think that you will be safe
You have earned your own place
Somewhere else
You and these good fellows around
Silence is coming for all of us
Bring us one more round
Let’s drink to our white lilies
That will never come back
Look, the tide is rising fast
Travelers got no shelter
Chorus:
Summers are short and all we’re left with
Are sour fruits and wasted love songs
Our treasures will slip away
Through the corners of memory
As they turn black
Bloomers are so bright under the moonlight
Let’s roam the flowered fields tonight
Some day soon their fragrance will spoil
And all light and colors
Will then turn black

You were once a worshipped queen
These days you are despised and forgotten
People sit you on their knees
They spit on you wholeheartedly
But if only I was allowed to kiss your footprints
If I could always feel your breeze of grace
The current is so cold and loud
I can barely hear your whispers now
I’ve been searching for ages and miles
Sometimes you’ve given me a ray of light
But people walk in circles and fall over the horizon
Writhing in vanity and hunger
Chorus:
Dazed as a child, I bow at your silhouette
My heart races uncontrollably
You’re my captain in countless nights without stars
When I die please hold me tight in your arms
The lonely, the wicked, the forsaken
They all ring around your roses
You always will offer escape and solace
But only to those who will take the chance
But if only I was allowed to kiss your footprints
If I could always feel your breeze of grace
Chorus:
Dazed as a child, I bow at your silhouette
My heart races uncontrollably
You’re my captain in countless nights without stars
When I die please hold me tight ‘till you leave me
Out of my mind, I feel when I see your face
Your eyes will burn my soul relentlessly
You’re my rock and I won’t be lost if you take my hand
When I die please hold me tight in your arms

It is so warm around the fountain
The Green Fairy blesses our night
The blurry air burns all our worries
The Enchantress Woman calls with open arms
We’re gonna invite Alice to bike the road with us
The concrete melts and colors vibe down
We see their faces stripped out of their lies
Our words have so much meaning
There is no tomorrow looming
When the luring boxes broadcast mesmeric eerie chords
Chorus:
Oh, the wind brings tales of unexplored pleasures
We’re gladly lost holding this sweet chaos like a treasure
As we dance our wild hearts join under the moonlight
There is no temple where we belong
Sated with ambrosia, we lay on the grass
Betting on bright unicorns while it still lasts
The bells announce the end
Soon the spell will break
We’ll spread like dandelion clocks in the vanishing mist
(Chorus)

Unbroken Bells

I’m done with all
Can’t take it anymore
I’m done with all
We’re rotten to the core
I hate the smiles
Crowds and shining mornings
I despise
The frills and the wasting
Life goes by
All gray bits and quelling
I’m chained down
To futility and mess
I’m done with all
The fear and the control
I’m done with all
Can’t wait to see it fall
Chorus:
I won’t let them get away with
Wringing gold from our souls
Loud will resound
Our enraged rebellion songs
We can live bravely
Be heroes some days
Before be swallowed by the waves of time
Colorful and bright!
All way through the night!
Oh, we’ll thrive despise the plight
I’m done with all
Can’t take it anymore
I’m done with all
Can’t wait to see it fall
My clenched old hands
No rest for the wicked
I don’t mind
Their gods nor the silver
Life seeps by
And I’m out of tickets
I’m deprived
Of my every ray of light
But…
(Chorus)

Beyond that hill the world is waiting for us
I’ve heard the stories of abundance and peace
I know there’s danger ahead, I know we might not make it
But gotta go anyways, there’s nothing left for us here
Only pain and misery
Dicen en el pueblo que se acercan aquí de nuevo…
Y por diez mil pesos te llevan
Y te cruzan la frontera
Hay un gentío en la plaza
Listos pa’ dejar sus casas
Aún sin pasaporte
Ni pisto que los soporte
Se ven ya trepando el muro
Besando el suelo del Norte
Ah ah, ahí van
Van quedando atrás
Madre, tierra, sangre y muerte
Al frente arena y nopal
Oh, the sun is so bright upon our heads
Can only think of our next step
Les han llegado ayer las nuevas
De Óscar y de Valeria
Se agota la suerte
Ronda la muerte
Y aunque del otro lado
Tras chota, moche y nado
Wacha! La migra acecha
El cerco se estrecha
Ah ah, ahí van
All them being locked up
Miedo, espera, juicio y muerte
Can’t afford to be thrown back
Oh, why are our screams so silent
Silent, silent, silent, silent
Even those who can’t yet count their age
Already know too well a cage
And don’t remember mama’s face
Fallen forever from grace
